The mac#1 drive shafts consist of freelander inner joint, bespoke drive shaft and sierra outer joint and hub.
The sierra shaft was striped down as normal, keeping the cir-clip, bearing, tripod stub axle; the bearing was removed form the shaft with a puller.
Then in order a new rubber gator and new metal bearing sleeve was placed on the shaft, then the white bush was pushed over the new shaft, then the bearing was cleaned and pressed onto the new shaft with the cir-clip over the end, the tension spring and cap was cleaned and re greased with the stub axle.
All was pushed tog eater in a vice and the edge of the metal sleeve was tapped over to seal it. The passenger’s side of the car has a shorter drive shaft and has a ‘LEFT HAND Thread’ nut on the stub axle.
The freelander joint just pushes in the diff held in via a clip on the splinned shaft into the diff. The joint is built in this order
Rubber gator, then the tripod bearing held in place with a cir-clip again, the gator is held to the joint via a clip which stops the shaft pulling out.
